Sure, those splitters might lose light. But as far as I see, they use three image sensors. One for each color. That might help quite a bit. 3CCD was a thing in video cameras a decade ago, and as far as I remember, it was quite good. By reducing the …

Looks like an amazing idea. However, I don't see it built into an iPhone soon. Apple would have to either make the iPhone thicker to make room for the by 90° flipped sensor or make the sensor smaller.
By adding a zoom lens you lose light. Basic p…

Very nice, but honestly, I don't want to have to take my phone out of my pocket every time I leave or enter a room to switch the lights. I do want to use the light switch. I only consider a product like this when it lets me control the light with my…

The first chart is a joke. As soon as retailers switch to chip and pin, LoopPay will cease to work and the percentages will be inverted because every chip and pin - enabled reader that has come out in the last two years is NFC-enabled.
So Samsung…

Yes it will be faster. But honestly, there isn't one single app that uses the power of the A8 apart from high frame-rate video capturing. Not even games. Where are the blockbuster titles like Infinity Blade or Real Racing to show off the power of th…

This was so predictable. It was about two years ago, when retailers in my area began to sell Samsung phones as "just as good as an iPhone, but cheaper". Honestly, I can't count how many people fell for that. For many of them though it wasn't long un…

Let us revisit this discussion after Apple puts out their first Apple designed update. I'm guessing they can make a quality set of headphones at the current cost and margins.
Yes. Can't wait for those Jon…

If Apple stops selling BOSE, they better start making those Beats products better. Even though I love my Beats Studios, the noise cancelling is nowhere near as effective and silent as BOSE's. And there's no other small and portable speaker to match …

This sounds a lot like the smear-campaigns all the other iPhones had to endure after launch. Remember the noise about heat with the 3GS? Or the actually not that tragic antennagate? I believe these things are targeted attacks, initiated by the compe…

In Zürich, there's a DataQuest store just around the corner of an official Apple retail store. They look pretty much the same. However, you hardly ever see people at the DataQuest store, even though it is bigger and has a better location. I believe,…

Again, it wouldn't hurt if these analysts specified what tablets the ones in "others" are. Or who makes them. I mean, since these clearly lead the market by far. I have never ever seen a tablet that was not made by a known manufacturer. Most of the …

Now if this watch stops my snoring, it is a done deal.
And if Apple opens it up for developers, who knows what can happen? I hope there will be an app that brings breakfast to my bed just in time when I wake up. And I hope it does exercise for me,…

Yes, it's small compared to what Samsung, google, etc. all owe them morally.

Actually, I love editing and creating spreadsheets on my iPad. Even more though, I love to use it to show keynote presentations. The ease of use makes the iPad an extremely productive tool! MUCH more than a surface, where office is a nightmare to us…
